Description
"High-climbing or trailing vines; pith brown, continuous or discontinuous through the nodes. Leaves simple, acute or acuminate, serrate, base cordate, petiolate. Inflorescences paniculate. Calyx flat, round, usually without lobes; petals 5, 0.5-2.5 mm long, cohering at the summit, separating at the base, falling at anthesis; disk of 5 connate or separate glands, 0.2-0.4 mm long; stigmas small, style conical, 0.2-0.5 mm long. Berry dark purple, globose; seeds 1-4 usually red or brown, pyriform, 4-7 mm long." [1]
"High-climbing vine with adhering bark, conspicuous tendrils, and pith continuous through node; young branches angled, puberulent. Leaves suborbicular or widely ovate, to 8 cm long or wide, glabrate or glabrous. Mature inflorescences to 5 cm long, few-fruited; berries 1-2 cm in diam.; seeds ca. 6 mm long." [1]
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
V. rotundifolia responds negatively to agricultural-based soil disturbance in South Carolina coastal plain communities. This marks it as a possible indicator species for remnant woodland.[2][3] V. rotundifolia responds positively to soil disturbance by heavy silvilculture in North Carolina.[4]
Phenology
V. rotundifolia has been observed flowering from March to May and in July with peak inflorescence in May.[5]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by consumption by vertebrates. [6]
Pollination
The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Vitis rotundifolia at Archbold Biological Station: [7]
Apidae: Apis mellifera, Bombus impatiens
Halictidae: Agapostemon splendens, Augochloropsis anonyma, A. sumptuosa, Lasioglossum placidensis
Megachilidae: Megachile brevis pseudobrevis, M. mendica, M. petulans
